Question

Sam, Joe, Lynn, and Kori are four business colleagues traveling together on a business trip. There are four adjacent seats available on the plane. Kori and Lynn have to conduct some work on the plane and would like to sit next to each other. Kori does not want to sit next to Sam. How will they sit

Answer 1

• A. Sam, Joe, Lynn, Kori

• B. Kori, Lynn, Sam, Joe

Step-by-step explanation:

The constraints we have are two in number.

1. Sam and Kori cannot sit next to each other

2. Lynn and Kori need to sit next to each other.

Both options A and B satisfy both these constraints because Sam and Kori are seated apart and Lynn and Kori are seated together.

Option C satisfies only one constraint which is that Kori is sitting next to Lynn. She is sitting next to Sam however so this option is wrong and by extension, so is option D as well.
